Ground Studies for Pilots: v. 4: Meteorology R.B. Underdown
Whatever their level of experience, pilots need a good understanding of the vagaries of the atmosphere if their flight operations are to be conducted safely and efficiently. The Civil Aviation Authority recognises this need with a comprehensive syllabus for the professional pilots' examinations. This volume covers the CAA syllabus from a pilot's point of view from the basic physics of pressure and temperature to the synoptic situations which an aircraft experiences on international flights.
